"Katniss! Wake up! You're going to be late for your first day!" Prim shouts right into my ear. Great. Can't she tell that I don't care?

"What do you want Prim?" Allowing the annoyance to show through my voice.

"To make you all pretty for your first day of high school! You have to make a good first impression!" she giggles and shakes me like there's no tomorrow.

"Okay! Okay! Do what you want, but I better have minimal makeup and at least three quarters of my arms covered up." Gotta show who's boss right?

"Fine by me." she replies starting to walk towards the door.

"And my legs must be fully covered!" I shout quickly.

"What?! C'mon you have to show some leg!" Prim whines.

"Prim!"

"Fine!" Her tone shows she gave up. Good. "But you are showing cleavage!"

I was about to respond, but some cleavage wouldn't hurt anybody. I make my way out of bed and into the bathroom. Right after I finish brushing my teeth, Prim bursts in with a huge makeup bag and about a 10 brushes in her hands.

This is going to be a long day.


"I look like I came out of a barbie movie." I complain through clenched teeth. Prim totally broke my orders of three quarters covered, and made me wear a pink tank top with white jeans and black combat boots. She also broke my make up rule and caked on a bunch of MAC products, and she even curled my hair!

"Oh c'mon, you look smokin' girl! Don't you wanna stop being a loner and actually have some boys ask for a booty call?" Let me introduce my friend Johanna Mason everybody. The one girl that has only two things in mind, boys and sex.

See why I love her?

"Well, no point in complaining anymore. We're here, and there's no going back." She says with a smirk.

And see why I want to bitch slap her?


Mockingjay High School, home of the jays.

And the beginning of the worst 4 years of my life.

To be honest, I have never been the girl to stand out, talk to new people, or do anything risky. I like to play it safe, and by safe, I mean avoid everything and everybody at any cost.

And wearing this. That's not going to help me.

Johanna and I walk to the student information table where we get our schedules and handbooks. Its a pretty fast pick-up, but in the back of my mind I really wanted to have some classes with Johanna. I wouldn't care if I was the girl who sat in the back by herself, but I also wouldn't mind if I Johanna was with me. At least she would keep the bitches away.

"So brainless, do we have any classes together?"

"And no we don't." Great. Just what I needed.

"Screw the school. I knew I would hate it." Johanna says with annoyance.

"Who didn't?" I reply, equally annoyed.

RRRRIIIINNNNNNGGGGG

"Well, guess I have to go. See you at lunch, hoe face." And with that, the only thing that protected me from the world is gone.


First and second period went on forever and ever. And I know that it's going to be like that for the rest of the day.

As I walked into my third period class, I instantly saw the one person I hoped I wouldn't see.


Hey guys! It's me! I know I haven't written any stories or added to my first one but I am back! It's a new year and I plan on writing more frequently. But this is my first Hunger Games fanfiction! I know I seem to cuss a lot in this story, but hey, the story is rated M. Future lemons and drama is coming up :)

So... question time!

Who do you think Katniss hoped not to see on her first day?

A) Peeta

B) Finnick

C) Glimmer

D) Clove

Thanks for reading! More to come!
